To stop cycle
When the toasting cycle is finished, the toast will be raised. If you wish to stop
the cycle before it is finished, simply touch the Cancel button. After use, unplug
the toaster from the electrical outlet.
Some notes on browning:
Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying of the bread. Therefore,
differences in moisture level from one bread to another can result in varying
toasting times.
• For slightly dry bread, use a lower setting than you normally would.
• For very fresh bread or whole wheat bread, use a higher setting than normal.
• Breads with very uneven surfaces (such as English muffins) will require a higher
toast setting.
• Thickly cut pieces of bread will take longer to toast, sometimes significantly longer,
since more moisture must be evaporated from the bread before toasting can occur.
Very thick pieces may require two cycles.
• When toasting raisin or other fruit breads, remove any loose raisins, etc., from the
surface of the bread before placing into the toaster. This will help prevent fruit
pieces from falling into the toaster or sticking on the guide wires in the slots.
• Before toasting bagels, slice each bagel into two equal halves.
Bagel
This toaster reduces heat on one side of the toasting slot for bagels. This toasts the
cut side of the bagel slightly more than the other side.
A pad printed icon ( ) located on the top of the toaster shows you
the right way to insert your bagel. (The cut side should always face
away from the center of the pair of toasting slots.)
Frozen waffles, pancakes, French toast and bagels
These items should be warmed before toasting, using the Defrost function.
Select bread type and then your preferred browning shade. Press carriage lever
and then press Defrost. For example, when toasting a frozen bagel, select Bagel,
and then select the browning level, press carriage lever and Defrost.
Toaster pastries
Exercise caution with toaster pastries; the filling can become quite hot, long before the
surface of the pastry becomes browned. Never leave toaster pastries unattended
while toasting or warming.
Tips
• Never force foods into the toasting slots. Foods should fit freely between the
guide wires.
• Do not place buttered breads in the toaster, as this could create a fire hazard.
• Uneven toasting is usually due to bread slices of uneven thickness.
• After use, unplug your toaster from the electrical outlet.
Single Slice Button
The Single Slice Function evenly toasts one slice of bread, side to side. An
embossed icon located on top of toaster shows you which slot to use for
single slice.
1. Insert slices of bread.
Be sure that the carriage is in the up position.
2. Select bread type.
3. Set browning control.
4. Press the carriage control level until it locks into position.
5. Press the Single Slice button. Blue LED indicates feature is active.
